  • Scissors

  • Glue

1. 1. 1. Prepare 5 plastic spoons for one tulip.

      2. Then take the corrugated paper that you have chosen for the buds and cut 5 identical squares from it, about 12 by 12 cm in size.

      3. Cut 3 large leaves out of green paper, about the length of a plastic spoon.

      4. Take the prepared squares and place the spoons diagonally on each one. Wrap it. For a better hold on the paper, we recommend gluing the edges. 5

      5. Connect the two spoons facing each other. Secure the bottom with tape.

      6. Place the remaining three spoons on top and wrap them with tape in the same way. You will get a bud.

      2. Cut and then begin to twist the spiral into a flower, first tightly and then loosened so that you can shape the rose.

      3. To prevent the flower from blooming, glue the edge.

      4. Make as many roses as needed. Flowers can be used to decorate a postcard or a gift box, make a bouquet by attaching twigs to the buds.
